Idea: players from the defending team have to be outside the box within 30 seconds of a penalty being awarded, otherwise a booking.

Jannik Sinner being so dominant at tennis must be really confusing for that bloke who used to stand outside Oxford Circus tube with a megaphone day and night proclaiming “Don’t be a sinner, be a winner”.

Turns out it’s Colin Stetson as the soundbed on the Nike World Cup advert

Are there any musicologists on here that can explain how a middle aged man that absolutely can’t hold a note could suddenly find that, after 3-5 (6) drinks and immersion in a Lemon Twigs audience, he’s become one of THE finest harmony singers in West London?

Think we’ve been here before, but extraordinary that Broadcast hid one of their best ever tunes in their first Peel session youtu.be/Sk0fRQbC7y0?...

Not sure I can trust anyone my age who doesn’t cough up for this TBH fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

Can you imagine being at the gig that followed here, but in a slightly off mood after a bad day a work, no money for another pint, long journey home, too hot, haven’t had food, mate’s being a dick. You leave early not realising you’ve just seen what you’ve just seen…

I was once incredibly drunk at a Lady Gaga album launch party at Annabelle’s and a rather grumpy Stephen Fry wouldn’t let me sit next to him because he was “saving a seat for Valentino”. www.theguardian.com/fashion/2026...

I see it’s the Van der Graaf Generator derby today @joebankswriter.bsky.social

*deletes Discogs from all devices*

Ok, but when are they gonna do this for records? www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

@thrilljockey.bsky.social hey is there a reason your catalogue isn’t available on Qobuz? Thanks in advance

Anybody have any idea what’s going on here? #ashcroft #attenborough #wilson

Suspiciously specific detail to report, no? 🤔

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is the home of Avebury CC in Wiltshire

I was at the first ever LCD Soundsystem gig. I was there.

@johnmulvey.bsky.social Hi John. I’ve avoided reading the Brian tributes and obits since he passed, as his music has meant so much to me for almost three decades and I couldn’t bear to read the same old cliques. Your Mojo piece however, is a wonderful overview, avoiding hitting the same old beats x

ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED MY SPIDERLAND LP AND IT REMOVED A SKIP I HADN’T REALISED WAS A SKIP FOR THE LAST 32 YEARS

Strong Albini vibes from Derek Pringle in this month’s Cricketer magazine #nichecrossovercontent

@iammilliam.bsky.social before you chip off again, thank you for the Neonomicon/Providence rec on that podcast. Crikey, was quite a few weeks revision of HPL followed by an AM experience at least equal to both From Hell and Watchmen. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn 👍

Maybe turn off the AI for these announcements eh The Guardian?

A thread of London documentaries currently on BBC iPlayer from the 1950s to 1990s. Well worth a look... (1/18) 🧵

Which property is this piece mainly in?

@kiaoval.com how we looking for an 11am start?

@kiaoval.com good day of cricket today

Listening to Metal Box. It’s quite good. Say what you want about storing physical media in steel canisters, there’s no marbling or any of that shit on these fuckers, they sound INCREDIBLE. Best £50 I ever spent (10 years ago).

IDEA: if all three promoted teams in the PL are relegated before the last game of the season, then an extra relegation place is added. Not to late to rush this through @footballweekly.bsky.social

@xeaglepissx.bsky.social did I just drive past you in a RM van in Sherbourne?

My first @backlisted.bsky.social !

Honestly, people these days… doesn’t matter how many times you play Going Home (Theme from Local Hero) at the end of a party, they just won’t take the hint.

No saxophones in rock? Fuck you and rest well Garth youtu.be/Q7yOGAmItFY?...

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Stars Of The Lid discography, which tragically isn’t getting any longer, is almost the exact length of a flight from California/Vegas to London. Perfect nodding soundtrack x

Has anyone ever genuinely noticed the exact moment when letting your kid win at FIFA becomes your kid actually being better than you at FIFA? Either way, you never actually win a game of FIFA. They don’t warn you about these devastating milestones at point of birth.

A very satisfying trudge down to Kent with @hipperpriest.bsky.social to gawp at the Medway Megaliths.

eBay alert finally pays off

Man, this place was great until it just became people telling me how good the new @billorcutt.bsky.social album is without me being able to buy a copy in the UK 😔

Fat Les, presumably?

Just incredible this #nowplaying

This is sooooo good. Best bit is when Andy Kershaw turns up, incredulous that “Travis” has played one of their faves on his daytime show.

Long term wantlist finally gripped. Of course, it took a trip to Amoeba to finally turn a copy up. Was in the bargain country bin. Sounds amazing. Shouts to @theheavyjamz and maybe @andrewmale.bsky.social (?) for the tip a few years ago

Magenta, orange, acid green Peacock blue and burgundy, we’re….

Hello everybody. My first post is a #nowplaying in celebration of bumping in to Tom Cullinan at Jonny Trunk’s Groovy Fayre lay Saturday
